Dear Families,

I hope you had an amazing weekend! We are now in

second quarter! We have had an amazing start to our
year! I look forward to continuing to grow and learn with
your students!

Our research projects were great again! Thank you for
taking the time to really help your students dig in and
find great information on things they are interested in!
And, for thinking on your feet to record action! I
thoroughly enjoyed our presentations!

I have created and sent a sign-up genius out for parent
conferences. Please sign-up for a conference by
Wednesday, November 5, 2014. It is imperative that all
families are signed-up by that date, so that I can
arrange for translators or other personnel to attend if
need be! If you have any questions about the sign-up or
are unable to access the internet, please email or send
a note in your students GOLD folder. Families who are
not signed-up by that day will be assigned a time. Thank
you for your attention and cooperation!

Today, November 3
rd
, students are allowed to use their
Boosterthon homework pass!

Thank you to the families who were able to contribute
snacks to the classroom! Snacks are like a revolving
door in our room and we are currently out! If you can,
please send some in.

Thank you for checking and returning GOLD folders! We
have had 100% returns this past week. Lets keep it up!

As always, if you have any questions or concerns,
please do not hesitate to ask. Mrs. Bicknese and I are
here to help!

Sincerely,

Ms. White
